Defense Secretary William Perry says it's one of three or four factors
that contributed to the crash.
Perry says it's not clear why the pilot and co-pilot chose to
land, in bad weather, at an airport they'd never flown into before.
It's also not clear why Air Force commanders allowed the plane
to use that airport. The site had primitive navigation aids and had
not been certified safe to use.
